I type these words in steel, for anything not set in metal cannot be trusted


Recommended Posts

Hello Sharders,

I have read the Stormlight Archives, the Mistborn series, and am hoping to read Elantris and Warbreaker among others. I'd say I like them equally, and I only recently returned from the Cosmere, bringing news that concerns the Desolations.

I despise cliff-hangers.

I'm putting a kibosh on this. This is basically downvote abuse in my opinion.

It is not that the levels are supposed to be secret, but these numbers reflect a meaning about a post's quality and how the community views them. Doing this totally defeats the purpose of the entire exercise. People with such low rep are a strong signal that there is a problem and for regular browsers of the site, they are not meant to be pleasant titles, nor fun, but more of a punitive nature.

To this effect: you will stop doing this. I am hiding your posts. If you ask to do this again, I'm banning you. I will also reset your rep total. This goes for absolutely anyone who tries to pull this. 

Am I being unfun? Probably. The negative reps are not supposed to be fun. Negative rep is supposed to be more serious. If a troll has a -10 on a post that means the community finds it extremely offensive. By doing this we dilute the system.

Don't use your downvotes upon impulse. It is a way to counteract trolls without feeding them. It is powerful and you should take it seriously.

(So, future viewers to the forum, if you're wondering what happened in this topic: this member asked to be downvoted, and I removed a lot of content regarding that and prevented this from occurring.)
